Grass is GROSS!!!


I had to post this picture of Ashton being grossed out by grass at Lori's house. It was so funny to see him try to keep his feet and legs from touching it and to see the look on his face. He even dropped his binky once and didn't think it was worth picking up.What a funny boy!

Ashton is 10 Months Old!





I can't believe my little Ashie boy is already 10 months old! Where did the time go?! He has been a good baby and has the funniest personality. Ashton at 10 months is BUSY! Some of the things he loves are: his blue blanket, his binky, his snack foods, to crawl 100 mph, dumping the toy basket out, jumping in the jumperoo, patty cake, playing peek a boo, talking about things that go around and around, watching baby enstein. He has been trying to say things like: grandpa, cracker, mama, da da, and wow. He just got his sixth little tooth a couple of weeks ago.His new thing is to shake his bootie, it's so funny! We love him so much, he keeps us on our toes and laughing!
The last day we were at my sister's we went to the children's museum downtown. The kids loved it! It had so many fun things for the kids. There was a noodle forest, a store where you could be the shopper or the checker, a pizza kitchen, a "ball" room, a place to race little cars, a bicycle wash, an art studio and tons of places to play. Ashton even had fun driving through the little bike wash. He made a motor sound with his mouth and it lasted through the whole wash, it was so funny! The kids are already saying " Can we go back again!".

More Anthem Park




Anthem Park





We love going to the Anthem Park when we visit Lori. It is the best park, it has a little train, duck ponds, a splash pad, tons of huge slides and sand boxes filled with dinosaur bones. The kids never want to leave,they have so much fun!

Easter Egg Hunt




For Easter and Spring Break we decided to take one last trip to Arizona. My sister Lori's husband,will be finishing up Pharmacy school in June and moving back to Utah. So we thought we better go down one last time to enjoy some warm weather, especially since in Utah we don't know what that feels like! We spent the week going swimming, shopping (Yay for Mom!!), going to fun parks and visiting the local children's museum. I think everyone knew we were from Utah when we were the only ones swimming in 65 degree weather! We had a blast spending time with Lori and her family, we will be so glad when they are closer to us! Thanks for the fun vacation guys, it was great time had by all!

Happy Easter!!!

Averie has been looking forward to her Aunt Maycee's Junior Prom. Where I am from, the Junior Prom is a huge town affair. A lot of people think it is kind off a strange thing, but it is actually really fun to have a reason to get all dressed up. Averie my little princess couldn't wait for the "Ball" to take place. When my sister asked her if she was going to come she said "Maycee I can't I don't have a gown!". I decided your only young once so why not make a big deal of it. She got to choose her dress out, wear some of my jewelry, a little makeup, and I got her a little corsage. She was excited for about two months and that is all she could talk about. When the night finally arrived, Aunt Lori gave her the royal treatment, with hair fit for a real princess. She made everyone close their eyes for the BIG reveal. I hope it will be something that she will always remember, because she felt really beautiful. I only wish we could all live in the same fairytale world that she does.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day with our 2nd annual " Green Dinner"! It was Carter's idea last year and it was so much fun, we decided to do it every year. Yeah, the food doesn't look that delicious, but it sure is fun to eat! On the menu this year was green pesto pasta, green salad, green ranch, green broccoli and for dessert, green pudding and green rice krispie's. We all had a lot of fun and can't wait to do it again next year!
